Mikal Bridges will be the first player to appear in 83 games in a season since Josh Smith (Detroit/Houston) in 2014-15. #Nets – 12:46 PM

Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU
Then you have four teams that started 1-11 or worsethat made playoffs:
– 2022 Pelicans
– 1985 Cavaliers
– 1968 Bulls
And the 1997 Suns started 0-13 and made playoffs.
Standard bearer for 2-10 playoff teams is the ’78 Sonics, who lost Game 7 of the NBA Finals after 2-10 start. – 12:33 PM

The best year in #Bulls history for durability was 2010-11 under Thibs, when five guys played in all 82 — Deng, Korver, Bogans, Watson, Asik. Rose & Brewer played 81, Taj 80 – 12:25 PM

KC Johnson @KCJHoop
Patrick Williams will join Nikola Vucevic in playing all 82 games today. Williams is doing so with five stitches above his left eye, a cut he suffered in the Mavericks game. “Playing all 82 is important to me,” Williams said. – 12:18 PM

Mike McGraw @McGrawDHSports
Quick quiz: Who was the last #Bulls player to log 82 games in a season, as Niko Vucevic and Patrick Williams are expected to do today? – 11:46 AM

Jamal Collier @JamalCollier
However, Bulls players won’t play usual minutes. Donovan says Vucevic and Caruso will be done at halftime. Same likely for DeMar and Zach but they’ll discuss how they’re feeling – 11:45 AM

Omari Sanfoka II @omarisankofa
Casey said Wiseman will eventually venture out to shooting 3’s, and believes he’ll shoot it effectively – 11:39 AM

James Edwards III @JLEdwardsIII
Casey on Wiseman: “He’s a guy who really wants to be good.” Talked about how hard he works and the film he watches. – 11:38 AM

Omari Sanfoka II @omarisankofa
Casey on Wiseman: “His upside is going to be tremendous because he has everything you want in a big man.” – 11:38 AM

Mike Curtis @MikeACurtis2
Dwane Casey says James Wiseman is “a fresh piece of clay.” Says his upside is tremendous and he just needs reps. – 11:38 AM

Joe Cowley @JCowleyHoops
Caruso and Vooch only playing first half … DeMar and Zach a wait-and-see for 2nd half. I will only cover the first half. The @SLGreenberg will get the 2nd-half minutes. – 11:35 AM

KC Johnson @KCJHoop
Donovan has gotten more specific now, says it’s unlikely Caruso and Vucevic plays past halftime. LaVine and DeRozan will be TBD for 2nd half – 11:29 AM

Mike McGraw @McGrawDHSports
Donovan says he doesn’t see starters playing in second half. #Bulls – 11:28 AM

Got a lot of good questions for my final Pistons mailbag of the season.
If they don’t win the lottery, would they entertain a trade? Also: Dwane Casey and Jaden Ivey’s futures, and more
